ble_simpletest.py not finding devices

cygann commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I'm having trouble finding success with the ble_simpletest.py example script (here). The script runs, but no devices are ever found. I have verified that I can find and connect with my devices through nRF Connect. I'm running this script on an M1 Mac with MacOS 12.2.1.

Wondering if anyone else has run across this and has a solution. Thanks!

Seeing that you had success with macOS 12.4 gave me a hunch to upgrade, and now the example works! Thanks!

I observed the same issue on another m1 MacBook running 12.2.1 as well. After a cursory search, it appears this likely a bug in macOS 12 prior to 12.3: https://github.com/OpenBluetoothToolbox/SimpleBLE/issues/33 https://github.com/hbldh/bleak/issues/720#issuecomment-1009198158
